Old school fun: WindowBlinds skin turns Vista, XP into Windows 3.11

The last two versions of Windows we've seen (Vista and 7) have clearly gotten a little more attention in the aesthetics department. They've certainly come a long way from the blocky grayness that we grew accustomed to up until 2000.

While you'd normally use a program like Stardock's WindowBlinds to improve the overall look of your desktop, there's something oddly attractive about using it to create a Windows 3.11 throwback.

DeviantArt user ^mrrste has done the legwork for you, all you need to do is download the files: the Vista version is here, and XP users will need this one.

You will, of course, need WindowBlinds as well. You can grab the free version or the enhanced trial of it from Stardock.

Now, if only someone would put together Hot Dog Stand for us.
